HELP... Hundreds of strange eggs on my lawn and soil?

This is my 1st post and I'm hoping that some of you kind people may be able to assist me with a problem which has cropped up.

I have discovered a large number (100's maybe 1000's) of little grey eggs on my lawn edges. I've no idea what they are or how to get rid of them and was hoping that somebody else may have come accross this and dealt with it in the past.

I have attached a couple of pictues and look forward to hearing from anyone who can help.

I've seen them on and off in varying numbers over the last few weeks but it was the massive number of them I noticed today that started me wondering. I've had a closer look and done some 'prod testing' and I think they must be some sort of polystyrene packaging... that said they seem a little heavier than I'd expect polystyrene to be but they are pretty uniformed in consistency, texture etc throughout.

I'll get the car-vac on them and see if they come back... if they do it's either a very strange type of egg, or my neighbour tipping their rubbish!

When I receive plants ordered online they often arrive packed in what at first look like polystyrene beads but are actually made of organic material intended for recycling. Different suppliers use different packing....some is made from corn starch, for example. They do look odd when wet and when breaking down. Could your "eggs" be this, Chris?

They do lok like packing material to me,but the yellow cornstarch type would break down in wet weather pretty quickly. Are there any in your neighbours gardens? Maybe you could track them down to a local business or something. Very intruiging, I hope you find out soon!

Bluebee, not all packing material is yellow cornstarch. I've had different sorts. I'm as intrigued as everyone else. Are these "eggs" now breaking down in the wet weather? Have you lifted any to see how they "feel"?

Hi ChrisLPW1 obviosly if you pick one up you will know if they are organic or packing stuff so before we get world war one here ,is this a joke or what? is this a real question or is it just April 1st all over again i dont get it
